Going off Feed in Winter/Spring...

Hey fellow Epicrates enthusiasts ...

I've had my yearling female Brazilian for a little over year now, since last September. In the beginning, she only ate sporadically for me, and then stopped feeding completely in December. She ate once in February, and then didn't eat again until late April. Currently she has the most voracious appetite of any of my snakes, and is growing like mad. I've heard that this is common with Brazilians, but I only really get mixed opinions on it from caresheets, forums and the like. From what I've gathered, it seems to be totally random, and some snakes just go off of feeding in the winter or spring. Is this true?

My question is, should I expect her to go off feed in the upcoming winter/spring? What's everyone's experience with this?

Heather
